Jaida “Water system lacking.”
When downstairs shower is running there is zero hot water coming from the kitchen tap. Not up to spec for a property charging this much. Downstairs shower not enough pressure to make water flow out the shower holds. You need to do an aboriginal dance under it to get wet! Maybe an old $100 a night bach you might expect it. Do us all a favour and invest in a new mains pressure cylinder. In need of some minor tidying. Eg marks and holes in wall - easily fixed with a bit of plaster and paint ...

Downstairs shower not enough pressure to make water flow out the shower holds. You need to do an aboriginal dance under it to get wet! Maybe an old $100 a night bach you might expect it. Do us all a favour and invest in a new mains pressure cylinder. In need of some minor tidying. Eg marks and holes in wall - easily fixed with a bit of plaster and paint touchup. Most doors need relieving. Pantry etc won't open. Door locks need some TLC/oil. Kitchen tap loose and wobbly. With a new cylinder and minor tidying it could be excellent.

Paula “Happy with our stay.”
Was just what we needed. Very comfortable and spacious. Great view and close to town.
- Paula, March 2023Cary “We really enjoyed staying at the house in that it was a good location with a nice view.”
The furnishings were nice and comfortable but the overall place is very tired. We had to call the property manager to fix a leak, we couldn't get the dishwasher to work, the fruit bowl was cracked and broken, the pantry cupboards were hard to open/close etc etc.....needs a bit of love and attention.
- Cary, January 2023Thank you for your feedback on the maintenance that is required at the property. We're discussing this with the property owners and working hard on improvements to ensure this home continues to offer an amazing experience to our guests. Bachcare

Welcome to Taha Wai, a four-bedroom, 2 bathroom house based in the stunning and snowy lakeside town of Wanaka. This classic 1970s family holiday home is close to the lake in ‘Old Wanaka’. Enjoy the outstanding views from the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. The spacious private garden is well-fenced (perfect for your canine companion), with plenty of parking space for cars and boat trailers. Taha Wai has all the comforts and amenities that you would require from a holiday home and more! In the summer enjoy the outdoors, stepping outside to the balcony areas, watching the sun come down over the mountains. In winter, put your feet up and relax in the cosy and warm living area warming yourself in front of the fireplace. When you’re about to doze off, retreat into the bedrooms and enjoy the queen-sized and single beds. Wanaka features stunning surrounding areas with beautiful mountain views and plenty of activities to throw yourself into! Just 20 minutes drive away you’ll be able to explore one of New Zealand’s best ski resorts, the Treble cone skiing area!
